Vague TEST TRACK confirmation from Disney Parks Blog

Again, from the conversation with Jim Hill last night - they are evidently trying to use the Magic, Memories and You technology to change the vehicle color on Test Track. If that works, I think that can be a pretty cool concept.

As in projectors? I can't see how that can be implemented, especially outside in the bright sunlight.

Agreed. It would only possibly be effective indoors, and then likely only on a stationary vehicle.
:shrug:

The conversation continued to basically be what Lee and Steve are saying. It would seem that once you're in the vehicle you're not going to care what color it is, so the effect really only has to work up until the seatbelt check, and definitely doesn't have to work outside.

Maybe the effect will be applied after the ride for the picture. Like everyone else, I don't see how doin it durin the ride is practical.

Mission: Space is an example of a ride that requires interactivity for the theme and benifits from it.

Actually, its exactly the opposite of that

Lots of ways you can "see" the vehicle while riding. Mirrors? Cameras? What if you just see the effect on a passing ride vehicle?

my guess would be the MMY tech would be tied into the nextgen queue and "designing your own car",and only working when the car is stationary at loading.
Scan your wristband, see the car design change as you are waiting in the loading gates, and once you are inside you really cant see the outside of the car anyway so the effect wouldnt need to work the whole ride.

That is probably the likeliest scenario. Either that or a reconfigured load/unload area that would allow for your empty car to pull up with the MMY projection on it.

I think they should use laser stereolithography and build your own design as you wait in line.

Now THAT would be using cutting edge technology.

thanks for the info!

I bet they'll throw in a mirror/pepper's ghost effect too, in a nod to good old WoM. This time, your car gets a customised overlay, akin to the new hitchhiking ghosts technology.

So what happens when 2 groups of 2 and 2 single riders all choose a different coloured car and sit in the same vehicle?

Just a thought...

possibly the first one that chooses wins? Possibly default?

What happens? A good old-fashioned bar brawl breaks out in the loading area, that's what happens!

General Motors is sending down out of work Teamsters from Michigan to act as bouncers in the queue when the fights break out.

A two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned
